Michael Lavocah brings tango music to life. Renowned for his books on tango music, all written from the perspective of the dancer, he is also a natural raconteur. His world-famous orchestra presentations (delivered in sixteen countries so far) are a voyage through the life and work of the great tango band leaders with a mixture of story-telling, guided listening, history and analysis, introducing the key musicians in each band and teaching dancers to hear and recognise their contributions. Come and learn to listen, feel and dance to the music with greater understanding and depth.

Michael is also well known for his books on tango music. In 2012 he created a new genre of tango writing with his book Tango Stories: Musical Secrets, the dancer’s guide to tango music, which has been translated into five languages and published in Buenos Aires. His current project is a series of books exploring the great tango orchestras, Tango Masters. Michael’s visit to Vienna coincides with the launch of a revised German edition of his first book, Tango-Geschichten: Was die Musik erzählt.
